TV.com summary
Shark is a legal drama series starring James Woods as Sebastian Stark, a notorious Los Angeles defense attorney who becomes a prosecutor. It premiered on CBS in September 2006, in the 10 p.m. Eastern timezone Thursday night spot. The pilot was directed by Spike Lee.

History

On October 20, 2006, it was announced that CBS had picked up the show for a full 22-episode season.[1] CBS announced on May 16 2007 that Shark would return for a second season.[2]

In Shark's second season, it moved to Sunday night at 10:00 p.m., switching timeslots with Without a Trace and thereby competing against another highly-rated series, ABC's Brothers & Sisters. In Canada, Global had also picked up Brothers & Sisters, so they decided to keep Shark on Thursday 10 p.m. timeslot, 3 days ahead of the CBS broadcast (except for the Season 2 permiere), and Brothers & Sisters for their Sunday night 10 p.m. timeslot.

The first episode of Shark aired on August 6, up against new episodes of ER in the Monday 9.30pm timeslot. Shark only rated 813,000 mainland capital city viewers,[5] compared to ER's 910,000 viewers. The second episode dropped to 708,000 viewers.[6] It was then dropped from Channel Seven's schedule and replaced by City Homicide and Criminal Minds which have helped Seven regain ratings.

Visual in-references

In episode four, during an exterior shot of a hotel right before a scene where Casey and Raina question a bartender, a bus with an ad for Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip passes in front of the camera. CBS had previously lost a bidding war to NBC for the rights to Studio 60 in October 2005.

Shark uses SWAT4Hire.com as the set technical advisor and tactical choreography for police and SWAT scenes. SWAT4Hire.com was also the technical advisor for previous seasons on the Fox hit, 24 with Kiefer Sutherland, and employs real SWAT-trained police and military advisors.
